both have to come to an equal decision if one is left claiming victory then it is not stalemate untill the board is locked the 50 move and anything outside of a locked board is an excuse and should be considered bullshit to true chess players
Why wasn't this a draw via threefold repetition?
I find that chess.com follows the FIDE rules when it comes to claiming a draw after threefold repetion but make up there own rules when it comes to a player not making a move for some time,it is decide the game has been abandoned and gives your oppenent the win.FIDE dont have this crazy rule!!
um... no. The game is only declared to be abandoned if one of the players disconnects.
isnt true that chess is the equal battle of out witting the other into checkmate then how can a stalemate occur if it has to be a proven lock? other than that it is still bullshit a win or stalemate has to be proven by forced lockout of any other options to move
exactly what i have been saying to these posts above there is no stalemate on anything im seeing up on that board
Every game I play, whether it's chess, monopoly, scrabble, etc., if the board is not locked then they lose.
The OP is actually a expert consultant brought in to revise the 250 page USCF rulebook. Indeed, he approached this project with such verve.
That was one SCARY game. What planet are you from?
You were a up a whole piece, and had an easy win.
Like a deer in the headlights, unfortunately.
no go to page 3 the queen is striking distance to checkmate by e 8 blacks loss
No, it's not black's loss. I posted that to show how white can avoid losing by checking repeatedly to force a DRAW BY REPETITION. If white makes any move other than to go back and forth with his queen between e8 and h5, HE LOSES!!!
whatever think about it i am talking about the same rule what other way can u put someone into a draw if the king is locked from moving and how can there be a draw if there other pieces to move let alone the fact that a 50 move limit is an excuse either way because it cant be enfoced in real life
a true stale mate is played with the king alone which is left as a true challange to evade checkmate other than that is a waste of time and a damned excuse
